Pistorino Flushes Out Norero
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jean Paul Norero moved his stack of 13,900 into the middle in early position, and was at risk when Vincent Pistorino announced a call in the hijack. The rest of the table folded, and the cards were turned up.
Jean Paul Norero: K♠K♥ 
Vincent Pistorino: 10♥9♥
Pistorino was feeling confident despite seeing Norero's pocket kings, and the 7♣6♥A♥ flop brought some additional outs. The dealer flipped over the J♥ turn, giving Pistorino a flush.
Norero improved to a set on the K♣ river, but it wasn't enough to avoid elimination as Pistorino stacked his new chips.
